The April 2-3 NATO summit in Bucharest was held to transform NATO into an imperial
global organization. If a totally different policy is not placed on the agenda, a
new world war looms, which threatens to become even more horrendous than the world
wars of the 20th Century.

Economics

The supposed regulators of the U.S. economy and the lawmakers have no idea why the
world financial system collapsed, judging from a Senate Banking Committee hearing
on the subject of financial market turmoil. And everyone concurred that the illegal
bailout of the already dead system is the right thing to do.

International

Vice President Dick Cheney’s trip to Southwest Asia left Iraq-Iran and Israel-Palestine
teetering on the brink of full-scale confrontations, including discussions of possible
imminent attacks on Iran and Syria. Lyndon LaRouche warned that it would be an error
to think that the impetus for expanded global irregular warfare could be contained
by making local agreements.

The LaRouche Youth Movement, some of whose members were delegates to the convention,
and others elected to official party positions, provoked many well-meaning, but ignorant
and impotent Democrats to reflect on the best tradition of the party, that of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and its leading advocate today, Lyndon LaRouche.

Science

Lyndon LaRouche proceeds from a discussion of “Collective Evolution and the Genetic
Code,” by biologists Kalin Vetsigian, Carl Woese, and Nigel Goldenfeld, to consider
important issues of epistemology which have been implicitly posed by their work. To
get to the heart of it, start with V.I. Vernadsky’s conception of the Noösphere.

Interviews

Mr. van Bommel is a member of the Parliament of the Netherlands, and the foreign policy
specialist of the Socialist Party, which is the country’s third largest party and
is currently leading the opposition in Parliament.
